Plainville, Conn. From The South West is a 1855 ink by Titus H. Darrow, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet town with small houses, a church, and a few factories in the distance. Hills roll behind it, and a big farmhouse sits near the front, surrounded by trees. In the open field, two cows lie down under a tree. The artist used a smooth, sketchy style to show light and shadow without too much detail. This was a common way to make prints in the 1800s.
